Save the dates

Hey all,
 When doing STD's do I need to address it to the guest and a plus one? Or can I just do the guest and save the plus one for the formal invitation? Thanks!

    I think you can just send it to the primary guest... Save the dates are only supposed to go to people who are definitely invited and the relationship status might change. People can find out when they get the invitation whether there is a plus one, in my opinion. Another question about save the dates that I have.... I assume you send one per couple/family. For example I have an aunt and uncle and their children who would all get the same save the date card. But what about an adult cousin living with his parents? The parents will get one, but is it silly to send him his own card to the same address? He is single so unless that changes he will not be getting a plus one.

    Anyone over 18 gets his or her own invitation. Some people say STDs can go one per household, but we followed the same protocol with our STDs. We did not indicate +1s on our STDs, only on our invitations. That left us room to change our minds if we needed to later. 

    ETA: We did put both names for people in relationships. We didn't put "and guest" for single people we were extending a +1 to. It's important to understand the difference between an SO  and a +1. 


    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

    For truly single guests, you don't need to let them know you'll be inviting them with a date this far in advance.

    For guests in a relationship, send the STD with both names.

    We were recently invited to a wedding. They addressed the STD just to my fiance, who is related to the groom. I was completely left out.  We live together and were engaged before this couple. It was a huge smack in the face and I tossed the STD as soon as it arrived bc of this. They did it to all couples who are not married, whether living together or not. I'd say if they live in the same household, especially if they are engaged, address it to both.
